K7V G400 and D3d
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have i G400 max and the system locks up when playing certain D3D games (namely, Starlancer, Euro 2000, ST Armada) However Thief 2 & F1 2000 seem to work ok. Im not sure if this is a matrox problem or a game problem. However the locks appear to be similar in nature, i.e they occur randomly and at almost any stageof a game they like, it locks the system totally and only manually pressing hte reset button sovles it. The other symptom is a dump to the desktop, again random. Im inclinde to think its maybe a matrox problem because 3D mark 2000 also locks up and dumps to desktop, although i have run it through ok maybe 3 times out of ten.
I have:
K7 650 @ 650
Asus K7V MB
128 meg of cas3 133mhz Toshiba ram
300 Watt AMD approved supply
Quantum 9.1 gig ATA 66 HDD
G400 Max
SB live 1024
Adaptec cdr scsi card
Creative 8x DVD drive
Plextor CDR drive
Asus 40X Cd rom
Hollywood + Mpeg2 card
Nothing is or ever has been over clocked, the memory is running at 133mhz and the FSB is 100mhz. I have PD 5.52 installed, however 5.41 creates the smae problems, I have VIA 4 in 1 4.22 drivers installed and Via agp 4.03 installed. My IRQ assigment is below. I always use the matrox unistaller to remove drivers.
0 System timer
1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard
2 Programmable interrupt controller
3 Communications Port (COM2)

any help would be great
